Description

The Lower Souris Migratory Waterfowl Refuge now known as the J. Clark Salyer National Wildlife Refuge is located just south of the Canadian border in North Dakota. The refuge was established and constructed by the CCC in 1935 to restore waterfowl habitat. This report gives an overview of events taking place on the refuge during November of 1935. Seed collection continued to take place but snow and cold weather brought difficulties. In addition, more muskrat houses and fish shelters were constructed and monitored. Other sections in this narrative include waterfowl, winter feeding, erosion, teaching and wildlife. The narrative concludes with photographs taken throughout the month.
